Now I know 😹

This is a great example of setting the record straight! Is Charles I the penultimate arrest, then, or are there any others after 1650?

Fuck, I'm so sorry. What a gorgeous boy.

"We should work out how to test how powerful this thing is getting because the tech is advancing very quickly" sounds like a pretty legit concern to me. There are differences between the major US labs on this and between management/employees.

BEREFT now that AKOTSK is done for the year :(

Congress—Not the Pentagon or Anthropic—Should Set Military AI Rules The Pentagon's threat to designate Anthropic a "supply chain risk" over its AI use restrictions is extreme—but the deeper problem is that the rules for military AI are being set through ad hoc hagglin...

The Department of Defense is threatening to designate Anthropic, the maker of Claude, a "supply chain risk." @alanrozenshtein.com explains why the Pentagon is considering the determination, its consequences for Anthropic, and why Congress should act instead.

Trying to set intelligence agencies on journalists by Putin-jacketing them seems to be part of the playbook for a certain kind of UK centrist shithead www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

What am I saying? It’d be Arya’s aria

The Tyrion aria will have to wait for another time

Tbh I think a significant segment of the population likes playing with the tech. The impact on jobs, which we’re already seeing, is probably going to have more impact on opinion.

The people building this tech tend to be at least adjacent to a very particular worldview that I’m not sure you would class as “on the left.”

Didn't realise that there's actually more than one TV series in which main character Sean Bean suffers an unexpected death at the end of the first season. Someone was having a laugh there.

Exclusive | Pentagon Used Anthropic’s Claude in Maduro Venezuela Raid The use of the model through a contract with Palantir highlights the growing role of AI in the Pentagon.

The number of drone industry people with a media/video production background is quite amazing.

Yep, agree. Get the feeling that a lot of these takes are based on messing about with ChatGPT at the end of 22

Palantir an agent of the Trumpist security state! Who'd have thought it?

The solution is devolution, I think. Very little of what goes on in SW1 appears to be about governance and it's been like that for quite a while.

💯 support that line of thinking

In a place opposite the library apparently. He didn’t enjoy it.

Edgar Allen Poe being schooled in Stoke Newingon seems like the kind of thing I should have known about already.

Honestly, it’s just absolutely top tier. Can’t recommend highly enough

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms still delivering. Trial by combat is almost a Westeros cliché by this point.

Two noses dammit

Mandelson seems to be one of the few routes in to getting criticism of the Palantir deal on primetime. Good to see @zackpolanski.bsky.social raising it.
